Hi people,
Is there a possibility to view my winratio for the openings I have played?
That would be a nice little piece of information to have. Unfortunately currently this feature is not available. I think to start out with they could at least telll you win ratio based on first piece moved though, can't be that hard to program.
Yes, you can see that. Go to the game explorer, and select "My games" from the drop down menu, and you will get a database of your own games, instead of from master games.
(My own stats are a bit misleading here as I have played about half of my games with a friend who is rated around 1200 - hopefully your stats will be more useful to you than mine are to me)
It is a full explorer, not just the first move. For example, apparently I should play Catalan more, and should stay away from allowing the Nimzo as White:
Game explorer - My Games
Now what *would* be useful is being able to trim it to "Show me only games played in the last year", for example.
(It occurs to me that I haven't played 3.Nc3 in this position in years, whereas I played a Catalan theme tournament recently, so it may be that the difference in score is due to the fact my play has got better over these past years, rather than necessarily that I handle the Catalan better than the Nimzo because of anything pertaining to the openings themselves.)
Tnx for the quick response :) @Davidstyles, always be careful with the interpretation of statistics. They can provide you with some sort of indication, but as you point out; multiple factors can influence these figures...

Looking at the following jQuery's code:
$button.on("click", {context: "externalRef1"}, function(e){ if (e.data.context){...} });
I wonder when should I pass data into the handler as context (as per the above sample) and why can't I always rely on closures (nevermind conflicting names - it isn't an issue really)?
Some clarifications - closures are about allowing to the code to use external vars, i.e.
var foo = function(){
var externalRef = "a1";
var call = function(){}{
alert(externalRef); // a1
if that's always the case why do you need to pass data the way pointed up above?

Jimmy Fallon Makes His Fans Really Work to Get a Free Taste of Ice CreamKate Erbland February 19, 2015 @ 8:14 AM
Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon is now the proud reciepent of his very own ice cream flavor from Ben & Jerry's – "Tonight Dough," which sounds, quite frankly, really delicious – so it's understandable that so many of his fans are eager to try it. Fortunately for them, there's actually a Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop located at Rockefeller Center, the same complex where Fallon films his show (ya know, 30 Rock). How could these two little details possibly come together?

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

"Windhorse" is a well-meaning but clunky film about a Tibetan family's life under Chinese occupation. Its heart is in the right place, and there's intrinsic interest in a film that was daringly shot partly on location in Tibet itself. But anyone interested enough in the cause of Tibet to attend the film is probably going to consider the story a simplistic melodrama.
The prologue begins in 1979, when children playing in the streets become witness to the killing of a relative by Chinese soldiers. We jump forward to 1998, and meet the children as grownups. Dolkar (Dadon) sings in a karaoke bar and dates a Chinese broadcast official named Duan-ping (Richard Chang). Her brother Dorjee (Jampa Kelsang), who hates the Chinese, spends most of his time drinking and playing pool. Their cousin Pema (played by a Tibetan actress whose name has been withheld from the film's credits) has become a nun.
Duan-ping, more of a dupe than a villain, realizes he can curry favor with his superiors by recruiting Dolkar to sing on the local TV station, which carries mostly propaganda. She rehearses songs in praise of Chairman Mao and invites her boyfriend home for tea; her grandmother spits in it in the kitchen before coming in to serve.
Meanwhile, Pema's nunnery is ill-treated by Chinese officials, who forbid anyone to possess a picture of the Dalai Lama--or even to think of him.
One day in the market, she grows so filled with emotion that she shouts anti-Chinese slogans, and is arrested. Eventually she is delivered by the Chinese to the home of her cousins, so badly beaten, her life is in danger.
Under these circumstances, can Dolkar still go ahead with the TV show? Will Dorjee sober up and play a role? What will happen to Pema? These are all the matters of melodrama, and it's at that level that the movie chooses to work; change the name and the costumes, and it's as simplistic as any other propaganda film. Perhaps on video, in the right hands, in Tibet, it will play as a powerful statement. But judged for its film qualities rather than its politics, it's routine. The qualities that recommend it are the authentic locations and the conviction of the actors, who deserved a more challenging screenplay.
Footnote: The film's value as politics is underlined by a controversy last year at the Hawaii International Film Festival, where the Chinese government protested the film's inclusion in competition for the main prize. Director Paul Wagner at first withdrew the film from the festival, then decided to allow it to show out of competition, on the reasonable grounds that he would rather have it seen than make a point.

IFA benefits in numerous ways from the leadership of Choice Hotels Pres. and CEO Steve Joyce, who serves as chairman of the board for 2014-2015. It's also common for our members to take the lead when it comes to partnering with organizations to support worthwhile causes. Take a look at the headlines from the "Community Outreach" section of Franchising World magazine below just from January!
Choice Hotels is teaming up with entertainer and philanthropist Steve Harvey to help raise funds to support the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation. The foundation's mission is to help young men and women, chiefly from inner cities and single-parent families, to set and reach their goals through such programs as the Steve Harvey Mentoring Camp for Young Men. Joyce announced the partnership on the "Steve Harvey Show" this January.
Choice Hotels Pres. & CEO Steve Joyce with Steve Harvey.
"Choice Hotels has worked closely with the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation for six years now. And we have seen firsthand the hard work, sacrifices and tremendous amount of resources necessary to help these young men and women recognize and start to achieve their potential," said Steve Joyce.
Since the mentoring program's inaugural year in 2009, Choice Hotels has been the foundation's largest in-kind sponsor.
"We are so pleased to be able to deepen our already strong relationship with Choice Hotels," said Steve Harvey. "Our aim is to inspire and impact kids from across the entire country. But two years ago we lost our airline sponsor and that greatly limited who we could invite to camp from all fifty states. We all want the widest reach possible. Choice Hotels stepped right in to fill the void."
And like so many other IFA members, it's the personal engagement that makes such a difference. In 2014, Joyce served as a camp mentor alongside other businessmen, community leaders, members of the military and professional athletes. This experience included fishing lessons for the mentees, as well as the opportunity for the young men to ask the mentors questions to help prepare them in life.

Review for Crossmen Productions Inc, San Antonio, TX, USA
Awesome music arts program for young people. I had the honor of joining the Crossmen and being a member for 4 years. You join to learn about music or dance, but you learn about life. I was happy to use the skills I learn in the corps to give back to the next generation when I had a chance to instruct.
Role: Client Served & I was a member 20+ ago and have donated and volunteered since then.

Historical Traveler Reviews Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre South
Average hotel, average quality
This felt like a 3-star hotel, with a corresponding price range and amenities. The room decor and furnishings were particularly splendid for a 3-star. It is not exactly in the most interesting part of town, though. If you get a north-facing room, the beautiful Glasgow College of Nautical Studies dominates your view. This area of town was apparently the nasty, run-down section some decades ago, but it has been revitalized to some extent, and it felt safe to walk around, in the daytime, anyway. It's about a mile or so walk or a quick drive to the hot spots of downtown Glasgow. My big complaint with this hotel was the service -- the staff were far from eager to accommodate me, even if I asked a lot of questions as a clueless foreigner. They had a poor attitude when it came to fixing the telephone in my room, and they took their time about it. There's ample free parking and a supermarket nearby, but I didn't see any restaurant within easy walking distance except the hotel restaurant.
Not bad for the money
Friendly, helpful staff and our room was clean and comfortable. The current US/BP exchange rate made the room seem a bit pricey but in pound terms it's not a bad deal. The hotel is not in the best location and may give a bad impression of the city. However, it is within walking distance of the city center...about 15 minutes. Decor is pretty much like the photos on this site but the beds are so-so. We found this to be the case throughout Scotland though.
Good Value
The Tulip in located on the south side of the river. The area is not the most picturesque that Glasgow has to offer, however the Merchant City area is within walking distance, with a slightly longer walk to various restaurants.
The location and free carpark is very well suited to people with cars.
Our room was large and clean. The hotel was well presented, and we thought it was very good value.
Nice Hotel
I can agree that this hotel is in a "dodgy" area. We stayed for 1 night in March but the hotel was excellent, very clean and very friendly and helpful staff. The High Court if not far from this hotel so loads of dodgy folk hanging around the court during the day but the hotel is within walking distance of the town centre and only a couple of pounds in a taxi to the SECC. At night there's nothing going on and the streets are pretty much empty so no loud noises, pubs etc.
I would definately recommend this hotel if your just looking for somewhere to crash for a few nights!
Good no-nonsense hotel
I stayed for three days in this hotel. It is a no-nonsense motel style place, excellent when you are travelling or on a business trip. It has spacey, clean, comfortable rooms and a friendly staff. It also has more than enough free parking. Obviously there is nothing special or romantic about the hotel, but I would say that about Glasgow as a whole. If you want carpet on your bathroom floor, look somewhere else. It had a 'most improved in 2004' award sitting on its reception desk, so the chain seems to agree with the older reviews.
The Tulip Inn is easy to reach, situated in a not very pretty area (to say the least), which appears safe and certainly not rough (as some reviews claim). It is at about a five minutes walk to the city centre and to the nearest underground stop, which connects to for instance the university.
The hotel serves reasonably good food, though a bit expensive (Scottish breakfast �7.95 and dinner (ample choice, about � 20 for three courses), notice the breakfast is not included in the room rate). You have to get a breakfast voucher at the reception which is somewhat time consuming when that is busy. It kind of lacks a comfy bar to relax after a long drive.
One of our better Glasgow experiences
Having lodged in several 'chain' hotels in Glasgow in recent years, this was one of our better one-night stays. The room we had was comfortable and well-appointed - everything was there and it all worked! Sure, the location is a bit off-putting, but you're not that far from the city centre and the advantage of having plenty of parking on the site is a big one.
The negatives? Reception staff were an age checking us in and out, with very little explanation of what was happening and almost no apology (a simple training issue here!). The reception area was very smoky - perhaps largely because of groups of conference delegates who had gathered to use the facilities. We didn't take breakfast (it wasn't included in the price) so can't comment - though if it was provided in the bar area close to reception, I would probably have had a difficulty with the prevalence of smokers!
Good value
The location is initially off-putting but it's great for anyone needing car parking and it's a short walk into central city Glasgow. we stayed here twice, each time for a few days over a 4 week period and both times we were very comfortable: the rooms are big and new, there is good reading light, the beds are new and comfy, bathrooms are roomy, well designed and clean and everything basically works. Staff were reasonably helpful - loaned us road maps, gave directions and advice etc. we didn't use the cafe for breakfast - it looked uninteresting and was very expensive. We'd recommend it.
Now Tulip Inn
I am writing to add to the two Reviews so far, both negative. This hotel is now the Tulip Inn Glasgow, but you won't see many tulips around here. I don't know about the poor service, but the location is outside the city centre in an area that used to be called the Gorbals.
A lot of regeneration is going on (such as building this hotel) but there's no escaping the fact that this is not the most salubrious part of Glasgow. Maybe in 5-10 years... There are plenty more mid-market tourist hotels in the city centre or further afield to chose from, eg IBIS, Holiday Inn Express. Most of the major chains offer various discounts. I would not recommend this hotel to seniors or families if you need to walk into town. However it might appeal to business people (free parking) and would definately be OK for youngsters who want to see a slice of Glasgow life. It is close to the Carling Academy where a lot of gigs are held, the Tramway theatre, Citizens theatre and drinking dens of the Southside (plus some more upmarket places). Its fairly close to Bridge St Underground station. If you are coming to Celtic Park to see football it might well suit you, a fairly short taxi ride (but book one beforehand). Hope you enjoy your stay in Glasgow
Hotel is okay, but location stinks
I should have known we were in trouble when the cab driver didn't know where this hotel was.... then on the way, he sort of raised one eyebrow when I gave him the street address. Apparently, this isn't the nicest section of Glasgow and was the section known for razor gangs in the 60s. The area seems to have improved since then, but it's still bit run down in comparison with other areas.The hotel itself wasn't terrible, although much of the amenities listed on various web sites simply don't exist. Breakfast was NOT included and was a whopping 7 pounds per person. I found no pool or sauna, but there was a small exercise room. The restaurant/bar called "Bibos" is really just a cafeteria-style room and not what I expected from the online description.The "power showers" advertised are simply hand-held spray nozzles.My biggest complaint with this hotel is location. It is extremely noisy, being located next to student housing. Our room overlooked the trash bins for said housing, so there was constant banging/clanging and loud car stereos. It is not convenient at all to the airport or any of the rail stations and everything requires a taxi (unless you go without luggage).I would stay there again, but I would do it with less expectations.
Modern, pretty hotel, but terrible service!!
I stayed four nights at this hotel in January (2003). Please note, that it had changed ownership when I checked into it back in January, from a Day's Inn to a Tulip Inn.This hotel is located right across the Clyde River from downtown Glasgow. It is very modern, very clean (both the rooms and the public areas), and very nicely decorated throughout (and interesting outside as well!).That is where the pluses end. Some of the staff members were very nice, but the two women who appeared to be the ones in charge, acted VERY unprofessionally, and very strangely.I believe I paid 54 British Pounds each of the four nights, which I would consider very reasonable (it included breakfast which was plentiful and good), if I hadn't encountered such disgusting behavior from the staff members in charge.I would stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Glasgow, IF the management there changes.

Afterwards I thought they'd drop us off at the station, but no, they brought us back to the house and we had dinner before we got a train at 8.40, that eventually got us back to Leith at about 10.30.

The Gizo airstrip, reportedly built for a visit by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the 1970s, occupies the entire length of the island of Nusatupe – as a quick look at Google Maps confirms. It is located picturesquely, if ultimately somewhat inconveniently, about two kilometers from the provincial capital island of Gizo. As I was beginning to wonder how I was going to make my way to Gizo, a team from the Government's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock fortunately pulled up in an outboard motorboat.
In December, just three months after my arrival in the Solomon Islands to serve as the World Bank's country manager, I chose Western Province for my second trip out of Honiara. One of the main goals in my first year on the job is to visit each of the nine provinces to begin gaining some understanding of this small but complex country.
|The flooding has resulted in mass cancellation of tourist travel plans, which will flow through to job losses, business failures and ultimately affect families already suffering from the direct impact of the floods.
So far, at least 11 people have been reported killed, from drowning and mudslides, though given the isolation of many villages, this number is probably much understated.
As would be expected the immediate impact is widespread damage to infrastructure. Homes, public buildings and businesses have been destroyed with around 10,000 people living in evacuation centres. Roads and bridges have been washed away effectively cutting off access for emergency workers and rescue teams. Electricity and water supplies have been cut and food supplies destroyed, washed away or still underwater.
Four years ago, the Lambusango Forest project started on Buton in Southeast Sulawesi. Conservation contracts have included introducing village cooperatives to niche markets (for more, see my previous blog post). This film records parts of the final supervision mission:
|One thing villages in Pacific Island countries can do is to organize the farmers to cultivate the land of participating farmers collectively, increasing manpower and thus improving productivity.
Land development for commercial agriculture is limited in most of these islands due to issues surrounding communal ownership of land. Take an example of a small farming village in the rural areas near the capital city of Fiji. This village consists of seventy households, of which sixty live below the national poverty line. The head of each household has the right to cultivate a portion of the communal land to feed his family.

|Delivery Not Desired
A message intended never to be received.Needs Examples Needs Examples Already have?
A character writes a letter, every word chosen with care, full of enough heart to make a strong man weep... And drops it into a drawer, never to be seen again. This is a message (a letter, a recording, an e-mail) to someone the sender knows will never receive it. This is often a hand-written letter, for a more personal note and since speed obviously isn't of the essence. This can be used to present a first-person narrative in an interesting way, making it very often a sub-trope of Surrogate Soliloquy. For Bonus Poignancy Points, the would-be recipient is often dead, in which case this is a sub-trope of Talking to the Dead. In-universe, it can be used to collect one's thoughts by using an imaginary sounding board, a way to cheat Never Got to Say Goodbye (take that, Death!), or it can be used if you really, really need to say something, and there's no one (alive) to say it to. It is certainly not unknown to happen in real life, of course. And, being a well-established trope, it is definitely capable of being subverted. If this is a message that was never intended to be sent, but is sent anyway, and there is a (presumably non-dead) recipient for it, this becomes an Irrevocable Message. On TV or in a movie, expect a Voiceover Letter. Not the case of the sender expecting to be dead by the time the message is received (which is nearer Dead Man Writing). Also not the case in which a message is written to be sent, but ends up not sent for one reason or another.

Despite his command that she must cut off all contact with him, she is shown writing letters to him as she grows up. The last scene of this montage shows her releasing her latest letter to fly away in the wind out to sea...

It works, because the brother wants him released to kill him personally, but that's not quite the end of the story.

- Family Guy: Parodies this in one episode. A family therapist tells the whole family to write angry letters addressed to the other family members. Peter gives each of them the letters he wrote, and it turns out he was only supposed to write to vent anger. He wasn't supposed to give them the letters.
- Abraham Lincoln once advised a friend to write a vitriolic letter to an enemy, and then not send it, to get the anger out without making things worse.

Operation Iraqi Freedom:
Preliminary Observations on Iraqi Security Forces' Logistics and Command and Control Capabilities
GAO-07-503R: Published: Mar 28, 2007. Publicly Released: Mar 28, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8365
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In light of the broad congressional interest in Iraq, we have undertaken this engagement under the authority of the Comptroller General to conduct evaluations at his own initiative to provide information on the status and challenges of developing Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) support capabilities. Specifically, our objectives were to determine (1) the current state of the logistical, command and control, and intelligence capabilities of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense; and (2) the current state of the logistical, command and control, and intelligence capabilities of the Ministry of Interior. Additionally, during the course of our work Coalition officials provided us with information on the status of coordination and communication between and within the ministries. On March 7, 2007, we issued a classified report to Congress containing our preliminary observations. This report is the unclassified version of that classified report. Certain specific information and data about the current state of ISF's logistical, command and control and intelligence capabilities was classified as secret. On March 9, 2007, we testified before the House Armed Services Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, on the development of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior's logistical capabilities for the Iraqi army and police. We expect to provide a follow-up report later that will examine in more detail the progress in the development of these capabilities, the level of U.S. support being provided to the ISF, and the linkage between the development of the ISF's support capabilities and the drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq. This report is one of a series of products that GAO has produced since June 2004 addressing the security situation in Iraq and Iraqi security forces.
Progress has been made in developing the logistics and command and control capabilities of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense (MOD). For example, there is a logistical concept in place for the MOD, and Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) is fielding many of the units required by the concept. Furthermore, the Coalition and MOD have established a training base at Taji, where Iraqi logistical and communications specialists are being trained. However, significant challenges remain in order for the MOD to achieve self-sufficiency. For example, although the ministry has a logistical concept, implementing that concept is hampered by a lag in the development of national and regional logistics centers, impediments to training of Iraqi logisticians and mechanics, and maintenance shortfalls. Similarly, the establishment of a command and control capability in the MOD faces training challenges as well as a shortage of military leadership; the lack of a communications doctrine; and the lack of clearly defined policies and procedures at the ministerial level have further undermined efforts to develop this capability. Progress has also been made toward developing the logistics and command and control capabilities of the Iraqi Ministry of Interior (MOI). For example, a logistics concept for the MOI is being worked on, the ministry has fielded communications technology, and a National Command Center is in operation. However, the MOI also faces challenges, such as supplying its forces and maintaining its vehicles. Furthermore, the logistics concept may not fully include the forces that are based in the provinces. With regard to command and control, maintenance and procedural challenges limit the capabilities of the MOI's communications technology.

Whether you like it or not, many things you do affect the environment. There is much you can do for your household to make it a better place. The tips will give you an idea of how to use green energy.
When designing outdoor lighting for your patio or garden path, consider using solar-powered lamps. These lamps aren't costly and do not require any kind of power sources other than direct sun exposure. This will save energy. It also ensures that there is no need to wire up outdoor lights.
